Today Congress is holding yet another hearing to persecute the @splcenter.org. Meanwhile, this admin has pardoned the Proud Boys and gutted voting rights. Ask yourself: Who is really manufacturing hate here?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous to the existence of an independent and free media. Take action: glaad.org/fcc

A dangerous federal book ban bill, HR 7661, is moving through Congress to erase LGBTQ stories from public schools and libraries by threatening them with defunding. This is not about protection; it is a targeted attempt to erase our families.

"Journalists are under siege in America by our own government." -- @sarahkateellis.bsky.social
Journalists are under siege in America by our own government.The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have alarmed citizens nationwide, who do not want American freedoms and the rule of law to be replaced by harassment and state-sponsored disinformation. The freedom of the press is a cornerstone of American democracy, but that pillar is being shockingly eroded by government intimidation.

"Trans youth joy is possibility. It’s being able to imagine the future – not as an abstract idea, but as something real and reachable. But joy isn’t just an emotion for us. It’s resistance. It’s survival. It’s a declaration that we are not going anywhere.”
